2 Peter 2:15-17
New Testament for Everyone
15 They have left the straight path and have wandered off in pursuit of Balaam son of Bosor, who loved the reward of unrighteousness, 16 and was rebuked for his disobedience when a normally speechless donkey spoke in a human voice to stop the prophet’s madness in its tracks.
17 These people are springs without water. They are patches of fog driven along by a storm. The depth of darkness has been reserved for them!

New International Version
15 They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam(A) son of Bezer,[a] who loved the wages of wickedness. 16 But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—an animal without speech—who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.(B)
17 These people are springs without water(C) and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.(D)
